Three Kingdoms

experience.

Among thousands of years of evolution, the most sharp conditioned reflex is experience.

Although sometimes there is a saying that empiricism kills people, in most cases, experience is relatively positive, because the ancestors of mankind rely on experience to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages time and time again, and survive to this day.

Xu Shu judged almost instantly that the so-called surrender of the Brazilian governor was a trick, relying on experience.

Xu Shu is not much older than Liu Dan, both of them are close to forty years old, but Xu Shu has experienced many more things in military and political affairs than Liu Dan, so he is naturally more experienced.

After Xu Shu blurted out, Huang Quan reacted almost instantly. Although Zhang Ze was a little slower, with the reminders of Xu Shu and Huang Quan in front of him, he quickly figured out what the problem was, and his expression suddenly changed.

Although Zhang Ze and Liu Dan didn't deal with each other very well and couldn't urinate together, Liu Dan had many people from Hanzhong under his command, and he used Hanzhong's money. If these people and things were damaged for no reason, Zhang Ze would also feel it. To heartache.

Of course, in Zhang Ze's heart, there was still some inexplicable joy.

"This Liu Yizhou!" Zhang Ze angrily slapped the table and said, "Greeding for merit and rashly advancing! Idiot and incompetent! If the soldiers and civilians of Hanzhong are so tired that all their previous efforts have been wasted, they deserve to die! Damn!"

Xu Shu rolled his eyes, glanced at Zhang Ze slightly, and then said directly without answering Zhang Ze's words: "How many soldiers are there in the city? Do you have money and food reserves?"

Huang Quan immediately raised his hands and said: "There are still two thousand regular soldiers and one thousand auxiliary soldiers in the city. It is the time of farming at the moment. If we mobilize the civilians to work, there will be three thousand available for dispatch."

"Good!" Xu Shu was not polite. Of course, now was not the time to be polite. He directly ordered, "Deploy a thousand regular soldiers, five hundred auxiliary soldiers, and a thousand civilians to prepare food, grass and military supplies immediately! I should order General Yong Huang , I’ll collect more food and pay for the soldiers, and then set off for Brazil... You two, I’ll be happy with the follow-up supply of food and salary from Hanzhong..."

Zhang Ze and Huang Quan quickly accepted, knowing that the situation was urgent, so they left and went down to prepare things.

Xu Shu frowned deeply. He had never noticed that Liu Dan was a rash person before. How could he be so careless after entering Sichuan?

"I hope I can make it in time..." Xu Shu stood up, frowning, "If we can advance, I will lead the army to advance. If we cannot advance... Well, we have no choice but to retreat..."

Where is Brazil County?

As early as Liu Yan's time, it became Pang Xi's private land! A large number of Dongchuan soldiers gathered in Brazil, which was also an important stronghold used by Liu Yan to restrict other noble clans in Sichuan and Shu!

Will such a place surrender easily?

Will he obediently hand over the entire roster of seals and ribbons before there is any major loss?

Liu Dan may not necessarily be confused, but when people are anxious and coupled with greed, they will inevitably be blinded. Even if they notice something is wrong, they will comfort themselves with luck. Maybe you will win the lottery this time? How do you know if it's real or fake if you don't try it?

A person who is deceived may be missing a person or a family's money, but one general is incompetent and the three armies are exhausted!

Xu Shu really wanted to drag Liu Dan back now and slap him a dozen times to make him wake up, but it was useless to rush now. He still had to gather his troops first and then move forward. He could save as many as he could, just try his best. .

The situation in the land of Sichuan and Shu was originally complicated, how could it be so rash?

If the soldiers are damaged by chance, not only will many of the early preparations be wasted, but more importantly, it will affect the general's overall strategy for conquering the west. It will also cause Liu Zhang in the land of Sichuan and Shu to be more vigilant. If he wants to march into central Sichuan, he will There may not be opportunities like now...

"This is really..." Xu Shu let out a long sigh.

…………………………

Opportunities are like antiques, some are priceless, and some are fakes. These fakes may look fake in the eyes of experts, but in the hearts of ordinary people, they can no longer be true.

And between the expert and the fat sheep, the most important thing is experience.

Even if it is a fat sheep that has been killed many times, as long as it survives, it is still much better than a young one. But the problem is that no fat sheep thinks that he is a fat sheep at the beginning.

Liu Dan and Ma Heng were both harmonious before, but this time, maybe it was because they had different views, or maybe the initial victory led to an expansion of their personalities, but Liu Dan was in Hanchang County, Basi County, Linjin. At that time, there was a dispute with Ma Heng.

Ma Heng led 3,000 people to march day and night, marching for five days, seizing the Bashan Taoxi Valley, seizing the Ba people's stronghold, and controlling the two intersections in and out of the canyon.

Ma Heng, who then made slight corrections, waited for Liu Dan, who was following up, and together they left the Bashan area and began to march towards Brazil County. Along the way, they defeated three mountain villages and approached Hanchang County.

Hanchang's defenders dispatched to attack once, but they were unable to stop Liu Dan and Ma Heng's troops. They retreated at the slightest contact.

After Hanchang is Yanzhong. If Yanzhong is captured, it will not only occupy the seat of Brazil County, but also open the channel from Brazil to Sichuan.

At this time, Liu Dan received a letter from Hanchang County asking for surrender, expressing his willingness to surrender and asking Liu Dan to give him some time. After three days of grace, he could sort out the county's seals, ribbons, etc., and then welcome Liu Dan. This is what happened when the birthday entered the city.

Liu Dan was naturally overjoyed, and immediately agreed to Hanchang County's request, gathered his troops, and was ready to take over the city. But Ma Heng felt the need to continue attacking.

Ma Heng believes that the people in Hanchang County are probably just a delaying tactic. After all, when they came out of Hanzhong, they acted first. Hanchang County may not be able to react quickly, so they may not be able to accumulate much strength to resist. This can be seen from the first time Hanchang County sent troops to intercept. Hanchang's military strength The quality is very poor. Therefore, regardless of whether to recruit surrender or not, it is most appropriate to directly march into the army.

But Liu Dan disagreed.

Liu Dan felt that the situation in Hanchang was over now. In this case, they were all out to fool around, and there could not be anyone who insisted on helping his younger brother Liu Zhang. In addition, he came to Sichuan, and he must be trying to win over For the Lord, otherwise, if I attack one copycat after another and one city after another, how long will it take to defeat Chengdu?

Since someone is willing to surrender, a gesture must be made. Even if it may be fake, he still needs to tell others through this matter that he, Liu Dan, welcomes all people in Sichuan to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side to change their evil ways...

Ma Heng still disagreed. He said that if he waited for three days as agreed, it would not only slow down the march of the entire army, but also give Hanchang a chance to breathe and make arrangements calmly. However, his side came a long way and lost the suddenness. The first-mover advantage of the attack was actually lost. If the Hanchang defenders regretted it after three days, wouldn't they have lost a great opportunity in vain? Moreover, it is said that the defenders of Hanchang did not suffer much losses. Whether they really surrendered is still a big question.

Liu Dan was very angry at Ma Heng's doubts and asked Ma Heng: "What you said in Zhizhong is wrong! Once we have made an agreement, we cannot break it lightly. If we break the agreement wantonly, we will break our trust. If so, who else will believe it?" How can you win the trust of Shu?"

Ma Heng patiently tried to persuade him and said: "Your Majesty, Hanzhong has sent troops here. There are thousands of mountain roads and hundreds of ravines. Although we have conquered three villages and forced Hanchang, our food and grass are limited. It is not suitable to fight for a long time. We need to get it quickly." .”

Liu Dan said disapprovingly: "If we want to rule the middle, what should we do?"

"We can march to Hanchang and have our troops arrive at the city walls. If they really surrender, we will accept them..." Ma Heng said, "If they resist and intentionally delay, we will send our troops to capture them!"

"I wonder if you have any clever ideas..." Liu Dan smiled faintly, pointed to the stronghold in front of him and said, "Here is the army's baggage, which is also the most important thing in the army. If Hanchang is deceived, wait for us. If we attack when the troops are out, will we continue to attack the city? Or will we retreat to help?"

Ma Heng was speechless.

Because from a certain perspective, the situation Liu Dan mentioned may also happen. What Ma Heng said before was also a possibility, so when Liu Dan came here, naturally he could not deny the possibility Liu Dan said.

"Therefore, we should remain unchanged in response to all changes..." Liu Dan said calmly, "Those who were good at fighting in the past were first invincible, waiting for the enemy to be victorious. The invincible lies in oneself, and the victorious lies in the enemy. Now here we are. We are waiting for the enemy to be victorious, so why not?"

Ma Heng felt that it was still a pity. He was about to continue talking, but was stopped by Liu Dan. He raised his hands and said: "If Zhizhong really persists, I will be as good as Zhizhong with a thousand soldiers. Zhizhong might as well lead the army first!"

"One thousand?" Ma Heng was stunned for a moment, sighed, and could only say "I obey the order" with his hands in hand, and then resigned and ordered his troops to set off.

In fact, Ma Heng knew in his heart that if there was really a problem in Hanchang, what could these thousand soldiers do? Suspicious soldier? Feint? But after all, Liu Dan was the commander-in-chief at the moment, and the military order had been issued. If he continued to pester him, he would be suspected of disobeying the military order, so that was all he could do.

Liu Dan watched Ma Hengyuan go away, feeling a little dissatisfied. He knew that people including Ma Heng and even Zhang Ze and others in Hanzhong felt that Liu Dan was actually just a scholar and did not understand much about military matters. As a result, until now, Ma Heng actually dared to serve in the Chinese Army. He questioned his decision in the account!

How could Liu Dan have endured it if it hadn't been for the fact that now was not the time to fall out!

What happened to the scholar? So what if you don’t have leadership experience?

Isn’t Ban Dingyuan also a scholar?

It doesn't matter, I can do it beautifully without you, so that you can see that scholars don't understand everything. The little experience you regard as precious is actually in the book, isn't it?

If Hanchang can be captured without a fight, it will mean that he has a solid foothold in Brazil. And for Liu Dan, who has the whole of Shu in his heart, if he can recruit a group of soldiers from Sichuan, it will also mean that he can escape. The control of some General Zhengxi.

This is also the reason why Liu Dan insists but must never say it out loud.

This march into Shuzhong was the perfect opportunity for Liu Dan, a chance to become famous in one battle and seal the deal with one sentence. Was Fei Qian, the general who conquered the West, just the same step by step to reach his current status?

If others can do it, then you can do it too!

Liu Dan was full of ambition and ambition. He looked up at the clouds rolling in the sky, smiled slightly, and said softly: "...You will ride in the car, and I will wear a hat. When we meet one day, we will get off the car and bow. You will carry the hat, and I will ride on the horse." , we will meet you one day as your Majesty..."

…………………………

The news that Liu Dan was leading troops into Sichuan and that Hanchang was approaching soon reached Yan Yan.

Yan Yan is from Sichuan and has been in Sichuan all his life. Naturally, his feelings for Sichuan are much better than those from Dongzhou. He doesn't like Dongzhou people, and he doesn't like Liu Yan, but he has to say that Liu Yan is at least not too much. In recent years, the court has been turbulent and peaceful, and Shu has enjoyed peace. It is unreasonable to say that Liu Yan has no contribution at all. Therefore, Yan Yan doesn't have any big objections to Liu Zhang inheriting Liu Yan's position, as long as Liu Zhang doesn't mess around.

So when Liu Dan came with his troops, Yan Yan felt extremely unhappy.

The stubborn Immortal Banban, when Shuzhong is just a piece of meat, does that turtle grandson want to take a bite? The land of Sichuan and Shu is the territory of Sichuan and Shu people. If you want to come across the border to fish for meat, have you asked Mr. Ge?

The people in Sichuan are accustomed to climbing mountains and ridges and crossing mountains and forests. In fact, Yan Yan knew everything about Liu Dan's every move in the past two days. Even the scouts sent by Yan Yan knew which direction Liu Dan's army tent was facing. You can see clearly from the top of the mountain.

What's more, Liu Dan was still waiting for the Hanchang garrison to surrender. He was very relieved and simply unprepared.

Yan Yan was ready to teach Liu Dan a lesson.

The two brothers have been fighting life and death recently. Have you ever asked the people of Sichuan and Shu for their opinions?

Do you think that all Sichuan and Shu people are just decorations?

Or do you think that people in Sichuan and Shu will just accept the situation?

Yan Yan's soldiers were all veterans for many years. They had been recuperating in the past two days and had eaten several meals. They were holding back a lot of energy and had nowhere to vent. In addition, Liu Zhang heard that Hanzhong was attacking, and he was even more worried. A kid who sells his father's land usually promises a huge reward, so when these soldiers heard that they would follow Yan Yan to attack Liu Dan, they were all excited, patting their chests and high in fighting spirit.

What about the troops of General Zhengxi?

This is not Guanzhong, nor Hanzhong, this is Sichuan and Sichuan, with mountains, ravines, and deep woods, bamboos, and shrubs all over the countryside!

The cavalry that General Zhengxi was famous for could not be used at all!

The most important point is that the person who came is not General Zhengxi, and what kind of guy is Liu Dan! If you can't even win this, how can you fight Zhengxi behind Liu Dan? Therefore, Yan Yan must win this battle. Yan Yan is also very confident about this. After all, he is on his own territory. He can walk on that hilltop, there is a shortcut in the mountain, and he can ambush in that woodland. Even if Yan Yan I don’t know, but all the hunters in the mountains are knowledgeable, and anyone can give them some advice.

In Yan Yan's view, defeating Liu Dan was just an ordinary hunting activity in the mountains and forests. Liu Dan, a self-righteous silly sheep, was heading towards a trap step by step...

Are the most powerful people in Sichuan and Shu just soldiers? Haha, idiot.
